Armed Forces of Ukraine launched new project to strengthen combat brigades - Drone Line
The Armed Forces have launched a new project that will "radically strengthen our brigades and scale up the experience of effective destruction of the enemy - the Drone Line".
This was announced by the Minister of Defence Rustem Umerov, Censor.NET reports.
"This is a new standard of warfare, where unmanned systems are becoming a key element of combat operations, helping our defenders to perform the most difficult tasks. We are focusing on the best UAV units. The Drone Line will scale up the most effective unmanned systems in the Land Forces and the State Border Guard Service," Umerov wrote.
The first stage includes five elite regiments and brigades:
- 20th separate regiment "K-2"
- 429th "Achilles" Regiment
- 427th regiment "RAROG"
- 414th brigade "Birds of Magyar"
- "Phoenix" Regiment ("Pomsta" Brigade).
Umerov noted that this combines infantry and UAVs into a single strike system. This will allow:
- To form a killzone 10-15 km deep, where the enemy will not be able to move without losses.
- Provide infantry with constant air support and cover.
- Detecting and destroying targets before they get close to our positions.
"This will dramatically change the tactics of combat, giving our soldiers a decisive advantage. I thank the President of Ukraine for the initiative and the entire defence industry, which is developing our unmanned technologies 24/7. We are scaling up our technological advantage. We are changing the course of the war. We are destroying the enemy," the Defence Minister summed up.
